| Apr 20, 2015 at 11:36 | comment | added | Dan Bron | Because it's the opposite of the correct answer. Metaphysical discussions aside, a question rarely admits an answer along with its diametric opposite. And never in a standardized test. In this case, saying the men were highly moral defeats the entire purpose of the statement: one does not blame things for allowing good men into the police force. | |

| Apr 20, 2015 at 11:28 | comment | added | Dan Bron | You're overlooking a number of key clues: "the policy prohibiting ... was to blame for ..." and "usually staffed by men of high moral values" (usually here meaning typically, normally, or otherwise) and "infiltrated" (look it up; it has a narrative cast). In other words, the sentence is drawing a contrast to "men of high moral values". So you're looking for words describing men of low moral values. | |
